So please tell me if there are any compelling arguments I'm missing. Biomechanically I can fit fine on Looks, I'm using 3-hole shoes so no issue there. If I sell my speedplays on Ebay, it'll essentially be a cost-neutral exercise...

BTW. Not interested at all in Shimano, and Time would just be weird on a Look frame.

I recently went from Keos to Speedplay. I don't intend to go back. The only downside I felt was that the Keo felt noticeably wider underfoot, which I liked. The duel entry and free, adjustable float outweigh that feeling for me though.

I am interested to see how long the Speedplay cleats last; they look pretty robust. Does anyone know if the c-clips in either pedal are identical? It would appear to me you could extend the life of the cleats by exchanging the c-clips if you're like me and only ever unclip one foot whilst riding?

I went from keo to speedplays for two sided entry. The needle bearings blew after a few months. I figured it was a fluke and got another pair of speedplays and the needle bearing blew out again. So I'm back on Keo (carbon), I think the pair I'm on now has around 15k miles...

I'm not trying to defend Speedplay as I recently stopped using them but, JackDaniels, it tells you in the manual you need to add grease on occasions (and gives you a schedule). I blew my first pair not doing this, my second pair lasted many tens of thousands of miles. If the bearings are going it's not the pedal's fault.

I am on Keo 2.Was a necessity because I purchased my current bike with the pedals.Will never change to Speedplay but am thinking of changing to Exustar E-PR200CKTi.Same platform as Look.Look Keo cleats compatible.Lighter than even Look Blade Ti. (14 gr lighter-one pair)Cleats are 2gr lighter.(4gr-pair) 18gr weight gain for the system.Plus a better price. What else?

I started on Keo 2 Max and went to Speedplay zero Ti for the double sided entry. For me, the weight and double sided entry were the only bonus. I had a very difficult time getting used to the feel of finding the pedal with my foot and I CONSTANTLY came unclipped during harder efforts. After a few months of use and still being unhappy with them - I sold them. Back to the Keo2. Just picked up some blades for the other bikes.

That's the first I've heard of someone coming out of Speedplays under hard efforts. Were you twisting your feet really excessively when doing the effort? Or were you puliing up really hard? I've never come out unexpectedly either twistin gor pulling up. I don't know how you could pulling up to be honest.

Used Looks for a number of years,...got tired of the squeaks and decided the free float of Speedplay would be good. I usedSpeedplays for 10 years with no problems. They were totally reliable. Last year I switched back to Look. I have severalsets, including the Blade Ti. Basically, I found the cleat/peddle interface would slowly wear on the Speedplays. Afterawhile my foot would easily rock side to side (as if one were rolling their ankle). This would happen slowly but eventuallyI'd get to the point where it was noticable and annoying. I think the larger Look platform is good for me and they don't seemto be as vulnerable to that pedal/cleat wear.

Biggest + for me is the low stack height; it doesn't feel like I'm wearing stilettos I use a Northwave 3 to 4-hole adapter on Bont 3-hole shoes. Next are weight and cost after 'illegal' aftermarket ti spindles. Dual entry is nice feature.

Pedal and cleat wear is an issue, but stack height far outweighs this con.
